All were uncovered except the king. The gentleman who stood near the king was reading him a sort of long memorial to which his majesty seemed to be listening attentively. The two Flemings were whispering together. "Cross of God!" grumbled Coppenole, "I am tired of standing; is there no chair here?" Rym replied by a negative gesture, accompanied by a discreet smile.
